Do you dream of winning the lottery? Well, if you don't ? then already the odds are stacked against you. In a recent lottery survey of jackpot winners ? 38% of lotto winners claimed that they always believed that they would win a heap of cash, and 50% of the winners interviewed stated that they had dreamt that they would win loads of money. Over half of the lottery winners described themselves as ?lucky' people.



So, could positive thinking and the law of attraction hold the key?...

The law of attraction states that like attracts like, and that our thoughts and emotions control the outcome of our lives. Now, before I loose you, let me just say that this is a Universal Law, and just like gravity ? although we can not see it, we know it exists.

Basically, it means that whatever thoughts we focus on the most, we will attract into our lives. If you are always dreaming of winning the lottery, then you are attracting this to you. On the other hand, if you are always feeling unlucky and telling people about your ?bad luck' ? then this is what you will create in your life. Wait a minute, I can hear you squealing 'If that's the case, how come I'm not a lottery millionaire? I'm always telling people that I will win it one day, and dreaming of getting the big one'?

The law is very simple, however ? most of us will have very unfocused thoughts running around our head. So you may one minute be saying "I want to win the lottery"? and the law of attraction will be set into motion. Then your mind will try and rationalise with you and say "Stop being silly, you'll never win?" In that very moment, you are cancelling out your wish to win the National Lottery and stopping the flow of energy.

What we now know is that emotions will increase your thought vibrations ? so as soon as you start feeling that you can't win, this will push your dream even further out of your grasp.

By simply understanding how the Law of Attraction works, and choosing to change your thoughts so that they are positive, you will be able to manifest more of your desires. If you have a deep rooted belief that you are ?unlucky' or ?always broke' then you may find you have to work harder at this whole manifestation lark?you may want do a bit more research into the law. One great starting place is to watch ?The Secret' ? this movie has transformed many thousands of people's lives Worldwide and you can watch the first 20 minutes for free on YouTube.

Following are some top tips on how to improve your chances for winning the lottery:

1.Decide how much you want to win on the lottery

Write this figure down on several bits of paper and put around the house or office where you will see it often. For example, on the fridge, on the ceiling above your bed, next to the computer. It needs to be a figure you ?believe'? if you want a million pounds but your mind screams ?dream on', then choose a figure that is more acceptable to you.

2.Say Affirmations

Every morning and evening, look at this figure and say ?I have won X pounds on the lottery and all of my dreams are coming true'?replacing X with the amount you desire. You can make up your own lottery affirmations; just make sure you state it as already having happened. Jump up and down; scream ?Thank You!' ? picture in your mind what you would do, get excited and feel grateful?

3.Visualise

Before getting out of bed and just before dropping off to sleep, imagine what you would do with the money, how you would feel?visualise how that amount of money would look like.

4.Feel thankful that you will win the lottery?

Believe that the winning ticket is coming to you! Feel grateful?

5.Buy a ticket!

This is the most important step. To give yours dreams a chance, you MUST take action. It is amazing how many people say they plan on winning the lottery but never get off their sweet behind to buy a ticket.

6.Have fun

Once you have purchased your ticket, go and relax and do something that makes you laugh. Forget all about your numbers. What will be, will be. By having fun and laughing, you will increase your positive vibration and that will make you more attractive to wealth?

Get started now, write down the amount you want to win and give it a go?what do you have to lose?
